Hi,
I have a funded PhD project available on "Air Quality in the UK: The Impact of Boundary Layer Meteorology".
It is through the EnvEast Doctoral Training Partnership and is based at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in partnership with the DEFRA National Air Quality Team.
It will suit someone with a strong interest in meteorology and its impact on air quality. The applicant needs a background in maths, chemistry, physics, computing or environmental science and should enjoy computer programming.
Deadline for applications is January 8th 2017.
For details see below or attached.
Regards,
Claire

Air Quality in the UK: The Impact of Boundary Layer Meteorology
Problem
According to recent government data, air pollution is linked to 40,000-50,000 premature deaths each year in the UK. Whilst, there is no doubt that the underlying cause is emissions of pollutants, air quality on any given day is mostly determined by meteorology. This impacts how quickly pollutants are transported away from the surface or mixed down from aloft. Regional chemistry transport models are used to forecast air quality and to assess the impact of emission controls. Their accuracy is largely dependent on how well they simulate the meteorology of the lower part of the atmosphere (boundary layer). Uncertainties in the boundary layer dynamics lead to large errors in modelled air quality.
Aim
To assess the impact of uncertainties in modelled boundary layer dynamics on air quality predictions.
Methodology
The student will use a state-of-the-art weather forecast model coupled with chemistry (WRF-Chem) to examine air quality in the UK. They will test different model boundary layer schemes and evaluate them against meteorological and pollutant concentration data. Most of these data will come from the UK-Air database (http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk) supported by DEFRA, the CASE partner. The student will work with the DEFRA National Air Quality Team, in particular with their data analyst, analyzing the data to develop an understanding of surface air quality patterns in the UK. For case studies the student will also assess vertical lidar data from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS).
Training
The student will receive training in use of numerical weather prediction/chemistry models and analysis of model and measured data. This will provide them with many transferable skills related to computer programming and modelling; data handling, analysis and visualization; model and measurement uncertainties; and problem solving. They will go on a WRF training course and courses run by NCAS (e.g. Introduction to Atmospheric Science; Introduction to Computational Atmospheric Science; Summer School in Atmospheric Measurements). By working with DEFRA, the student will learn about UK air quality policy and its implementation.
Person Specifications
Background in maths, chemistry, physics, computing or environmental science. Interest in meteorology and air quality, and enjoyment of computer programming.

Up to 15 funded studentships are available to study ocean biogeochemistry at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton in conjunction with the NERC COMICS project and the SPITFIRE NERC Doctoral Training Partnership.
Details on the projects can be found here: http://noc.ac.uk/f/content/downloads/biogeochemistry_projects_NOC.pdf
COMICS (Controls over Ocean Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage) is an ambitious project aimed at understanding the controls on the biological carbon pump, with cruises planned to South Georgia and Benguela. For more details see http://comics.ac.uk/
SPITFIRE provides an innovative multi-disciplinary experience for the effective training of future leaders in environmental science, engineering, technology development, business, and policy. Unique features of SPITFIRE include opportunities for placements at a range of prestigious international research organisations or industrial and policy partners.
All students will be registered at the University of Southampton and will undertake their PhD project research within the University or one of the hosting partner organisations.
The Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystems group at NOC is globally renowned as a leading centre of excellence in biological carbon pump research. In the group, plankton ecologists, numerical modellers, remote sensing specialists and particle flux geochemists work together to address the most significant problems in biological and biogeochemical oceanography.
For further information on the projects, individuals are encouraged to contact supervisors directly. For further details and applications, visit http://noc.ac.uk/gsnocs/how-apply.

The Open University is co-leading the NOMAD instrument, which is a spectrometer instrument designed to map trace gases and aerosols in the Martian atmosphere as part of the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission. Following launch in March 2016, the NOMAD instrument is now successfully in orbit around Mars. In this role, you will focus upon the preparation and implementation of aerosol and gas retrievals from NOMAD spectra, involving the use of radiative transfer codes and retrieval algorithms. You will become part of the international NOMAD team, and have the opportunity to interact with the staff at the European Space Agency.
Candidates should have a PhD in planetary science, physics or a closely related field, with knowledge and experience of atmospheric science including atmospheric retrieval methods; radiative transfer processes and numerical programming techniques.
Closing date: Noon, Tuesday 20 December 2016
